What Verified Users Say
AdGuard: Ad Blocker for Safari
"It blocks Youtube ads for a few hours then all of a sudden Youtube videos will not play until I turn off adguard."
"It blocked my ads very well I have no more issues with things showing up all over my browser honorable mention to my old adblocker You did an excellent job but there’s always a hotter product somewhere"
Wipr 2
"Not satisfied"
"I was a bit apprehensive about using an adblocker with no custom settings in case there are issues with certain sites or I wanted to add more lists. Has been great I have not seen any adds on sites I have been frequenting where on ublock light I still would gets adds here and there even on the strictest setting - granted was still great overall but this adblocker has been better and I haven’t run into any site issues. Only caveat to the Wipr2’s paid Filtr subextension is that if your home or work firewall has blocked domains related to Apple’s private relay it will also prevent the Filtr extension from working. Hence I generally find it mostly working while I’m on cellular."
